Lin Yannong, attending physician at the Obesity Prevention and Treatment Center of Wan Fang Hospital, said that the so-called targeted weight loss method, where the target means concentrating firepower on the areas with the most fat, such as the belly or buttocks. The characteristic of "passive exercise" is the use of an external medium-frequency electrical stimulator, combined with diet control, to achieve the goal of weight loss. Fat is usually stored in fat cells, which are like warehouses. When fat is needed, such as during exercise, fat will be released from the fat cells and transported to places where metabolism is needed, such as muscle cells. If an external medium-frequency electrical stimulator can be used to introduce electric current into the subcutaneous tissue, it can promote the release of fat from fat cells so that it can be burned and metabolized. However, the electrical stimulator can also cause muscle contraction and increase calorie consumption; to put it simply, it uses the machine to assist in exercise and burn calories. The medium frequency electrical stimulator can achieve local slimming and body sculpting weight loss.

To lose weight successfully, diet control is essential. Lin Yannong pointed out that the Obesity Prevention and Control Center will provide a weekly diet education course to enhance students' understanding of calories and nutrition, and provide meal packs to reduce the total calorie intake per day. Using meal packs can make the diet control process smoother. Meal packs only replace part of the staple food, and students can still eat vegetables and meat. Among various diet weight loss methods, it is very humane.

For people who want to lose weight, the targeted weight loss method can achieve perfect control of calorie intake, combined with the effects of passive exercise and local fat control. For modern people who are lazy and don't want to work too hard to lose weight, it is no longer difficult to have a slim figure.
